            </div>
            <div class="">In particular, this is a study of different
              forms and formalisms for replication. We concentrate on
              diagrammatic formal systems not only for the sake of
              showing how there may be fundamental mathematical
              structure in biology, but also to consider philosophical
              and phenomenological points of view in relation to natural
              science and mathematics. The relationship with
              phenomenology comes about in the questions that arise
              about the nature of the observer in relation to the
              observed that arise in philosophy, but also in science in
              the very act of determining the context and models upon
              which it shall be based. Our original point of departure
              was the idea of distinction and cybernetic epistemology.
              Cybernetic epistemology has much to say about the relation
              of the self to structures that may harbor a self. What is
              the interlacement of selves and organisms?</div>
            <div class=""> </div>
            <div class="">Our point of view is structural. There is a
              distinct difference between building up structures in
              terms of principles and imagining that models of the world
              are constructed from some sort of building-bricks. I want
               to make this point as early as possible because in
              mathematics one naturally generates hierarchies, but that
              does not make the mathematician a reductionist. We think
              of geometry as the consequences of certain axioms for the
              purpose of organizing our knowledge, not to insist that
              these axioms are in any way other than logically prior to
              the theorems of the system. Just so, we look for
              fundamental patterns from which certain complexes of
              phenomena and ideas can be organized. This does not entail
              any assumption about ``the world'' or how the world may be
              built from parts. What is a part that a world might be
              built from it?</div>
            <div class=""><br class="">
            </div>
            <div class="">We examine the schema behind the reproduction
              of DNA. The pattern of the DNA reproduction is very
              simple. The DNA molecule consists of two interwound
              strands, the Watson Strand (W)  and the Crick Strand (C).
              The two strands are bonded to each other via a backbone of
              base-pairings and these bonds can be broken by certain
              enzymes present in the cell. In reproduction of DNA the
              bonds between the two strands are broken and the two
              strands then acquire the needed complementary base
              molecules from the cellular environment to reconstitute
              each a separate copy of the DNA. At this level the
              situation can be described by a symbolism like this.</div>
            <div class="">DNA = <W|C> ----->  <W| E |C>
              ----->  <W|C> <W|C> = DNA DNA.</div>
            <div class="">Here E stands for the environment of the cell.
              The first arrow denotes the separation of the DNA into the
              two strands. The second arrow denotes the action between
              the bare strands and the environment (the creation of new
              base-pairings) that leads to the production of the two DNA
              molecules.</div>
            <div class=""><br class="">
            </div>
            <div class="">Much is left out of this schema. Indeed the
              DNA molecule is a tight spiral winding of its two
              interlocked strands and so the new DNA's would be linked
              around one another if it were not for the work of
              toposomerase enzymes that manage to unlink the new DNA's
              in time for cell division to occur. Nevertheless, this is
              the large scale description of the replication of DNA that
              is fundamental to the division of cells and to the
              continuance of living organisms.</div>
            <div class=""><br class="">
            </div>
            <div class="">This form of replication can be compared with
              other forms. For example, John von Neumann suggested a
              “building machine” B such that when B is supplied with a
              “blueprint” x then </div>
            <div class="">B, x —> B,x , X,x</div>
            <div class="">This means that B and the blueprint x will
              produce X the entity whose plan is x along with a copy of
              the blueprint x. The first B,x is the persistence of the
              original machine B.</div>
            <div class="">Let b be the blueprint for B itself. Then</div>
            <div class="">B,b —> B,b , B,b.</div>
            <div class="">The Von Neumann Machine replicates itself. </div>
            <div class="">In the comparison, we see that The DNA
              contains (in its strands) the blueprint for its own
              replication.</div>
            <div class=""><br class="">
            </div>
            <div class="">The comparison made, what questions do you
              ask? The mathematical roots of von Neumann’s construction
              are very deep. What are the physical/biological roots of
              the DNA replication?</div>
            <div class=""><br class="">
            </div>
            <div class="">We invite the reader to examine the form of
              the science involved in this well-known description. We
              speak of the DNA molecules as though we could see them
              directly in the phenomenology of our ordinary sight.
              Science does involve the direct extension of sight as the
              experience of looking through a telescope or a light
              microscope. But in the case of the DNA one proceeds by
              logical consistency and the indirect but vivid images via
              the electron microscope and the patterns of gel
              electrophoresis. In the case of electron microscope images
              there is every reason to assume (it appears consistent to
              assume) that the objects shown can be taken to be
              analogous to the macroscopic objects of our perception.
              This means that one has the possibility of observing
              ``directly" that DNA molecules can be knotted. I do not
              say that one can observe directly the coiling of the
              Watson and the Crick strands, but the DNA can be observed
              as though it were a long rope. This rope can be seen to be
              coiled and knotted in electron micrographs. Even this
              ``showing'' requires a difficult technique beyond the
              usual techniques of the electron microscope. The DNA was
              coated with protein by the experimenters so that it became
              a chain of larger and more robust diameter. Then the
              electron microscope revealed the patterns of knotting in
              an apparent projection of the coated DNA from three
              dimensional space to the two dimensional space of the
              image.</div>

            <div class=""><br class="">
            </div>
            <div class="">It is remarkable how consistent is the
              hypothesis of indirect perception on which the work is
              based. Most working biologists would not question the
              basis of their biological perceptions direct or indirect.
              For those who are philosophically inclined there is a
              lesson to be learned about experimental phenomenology. </div>
            <div class="">One wants to know how far a world-view can be
              extended before it disintegrates.</div>
            <div class="">What we see in the electron micrograph is
              deeply shaped by the complex story of biological
              experiment that surrounds it.</div>
            <div class=""> </div>
            <div class="">Along with these forays into experimentation,
              there are analogous forays into the limits of logic. Here
              we meet the replication schema again. Replication in logic
              is intimately related to self-reference and to formalisms
              that can lead to paradox. The reasons for this are, by
              now, apparent. The usual mathematical formalisms for set
              theory assume that there is no temporal evolution in the
              structures. </div>
            <div class="">Temporality may look like a tragedy for the
              classical mathematics, but it is exactly what interests us
              when studying biology. </div>
            <div class="">Mathematical biology is concerned with those
              structures leading to recursive generation of structures
